SOLVED. Mystery book for middle grade readers with curly haired girl MC. [s]

[MJ]

I read this book in 2003 or 2004. It was meant for kids aged 9-13. The main character was a curly, messy haired girl who lived in an apartment. I think she had recently moved fo that apartment? She became friends with a boy who also lived in that apartment. They solved a mystery together. I think the title had something to do with "trash" or "garbage", and the girl's name was part of the title as well. It might have been the first book in a series.

I think a corner of the cover had her messy hair.
